Blog Peer Assessment

Blog Author: Cameron Hargreaves

Blog Assessor: Deanna Hopps

Date: 10/10/13

Question 1 - Formation of the blogThe background you have picked works well with the font

colour - it doesn't clash or impair the ability to read it. The post

titles and the blog title all are clear and stand out instantly,

allowing the reader to know straight away what they are

reading about and identify the separate posts. You have

added gadgets into your sidebar that work well with your blog

i.e: the pages tab. These are set up correctly and it works wellhow you put one page for every technique. Very effective.

However you have left the time of the posts on your blog;

no many people are bothered about what time you sent

the posts, especially not the examiners. Another thing is

that you have hardly put many posts. The more posts the

better. The colours do get a little dull at times but it is

professional looking.

Question 2 - The Welcome PostYour welcome post is inviting and friendly while remaining

professional and not to cheesy. You mention the title of the

course and you clearly state what we will be studying

throughout it. You also mention about our Western Film that

you did and your thoughts on it which allows the reader to

catch up on your movements before the blog was created.

You keep the post brief but detailed. You mention straight

away that you will be taking the reader throughout your

journey in the media course.

Question 3 - Post that defines Camera shot typesYou haven't done a page or post about Camera shot

types. I recommend doing this to get the marks. Makesure you embed media to back up your post.

Current Mark: 0/10

Question 4 - Post that defines Camera movementsYou haven't done a page or post about Camera

movements - as I said for the above MAKE SURE YOU DO

IT!

Question 6 - Post that defines about The Rule of ThirdsYou have made sure that you've embedded a media video

from youtube that fully explains what the rule of thirds actually

is. However you haven't really explained your OWN

knowledge on the Rule of Thirds - you have just relied on

what the video has told you. To improve this area of your

blog maybe add a brief explanation from you. Althoughthere is this problem, you have actually involved your

audience and made the text fun to read and isn't dull and

boring.

Question 7 - Post that defines what Match-On-ActionThe post you have published is clear and understandable for

the reader. You have made sure that the explanation is in


4/7

depth and covers everything the reader needs to know about

Match-On-Action. Also you have added an embedded media

video from a well-known film "The Hobbit" which has loads of

examples of Match-On-Action that supports thetext/explanation you have provided.

Question 8 - Post that defines what the 180 Degree Rule isAgain you have provided your blog and reader with accurate

and understandable knowledge about this rule and have

shared an adequate sized post explaining the In's and Out's.

You have also added in a video and noted down the source -

the video helps to explain the 180 Degree Rule in a more

professional sense, picking up any bits that you may have

missed.

Question 9 - Post that defines continuityYou begin your post bubbly and welcoming, thus inviting the

reader in to read your post further. You've chosen a video clip

from another well-known film "The Pirates of the Caribbean"

showing all the continuity errors amongst it; making the viewer

again more interested in your post. Your explanation is strong


5/7

and provides viewers/readers with your knowledge about the

continuity in films. It's straight to the point, doesn't babble and

waffle on about stuff you don't need to. Overall an interesting

post that invites the audience in.

Question 10 - Post that defines how scripts should be

presented.You have clearly demonstrated your understanding about the

scripts in your post. You've set out the post neatly and clearly

- allowing the audience to see Step 1 from step 3 etc. The

important information in your post you have highlighted in

capital letters. This allows the reader to see on one glance

what is important. An embedded media picture or video is

important!! Make sure you add one in to break up thetext.

Question 11 - Did you complete the Preliminary Task

successfully? Did you observe the basic production rules?You clearly evaluate your preliminary task well - going into

detail about what techniques your used and how/when they

were used. Each section is clear by subheadings, it's neatly


6/7

presented. You have completed your preliminary task and

from what you have put on the blog you seem to have

followed the basic production rules. A video of your

preliminary task is needed so that the audience canwatch your finished film and make a judgement for

themselves.

Question 12 - Does your blog have a continuing narrative?Does is link logically from post to post? Is it easy for the

reader to follow your media journey?From thoroughly looking through your blog I have come to the

conclusion that your blog does have a continuing narrative (a

thread) and the posts are linked logically. Your media journey

is easy to follow as you progress through the lessons due tothe way you have laid out your blog and posts.

Current Mark: 10/10

Question 13 - Have you demonstrated good time

management? Are your posts complete? Have you completedhomework to the best of your ability?All of the posts of which you have published are finished

completely apart from the fact a couple of them haven't


7/7

been embedded with media. I'd recommend you do this to

complete your posts. You have completed all assigned

homework correctly and you completed them all before

deadlines. They aren't rushed and answer everything youwere asked to do. You seemed to have used your time wisely

and have managed to keep your blog up to date. You are yet

to finish the other pages on Cut Types, Camera shot and

Camera Movements.
